    Would you recommend a 197?

    Honestly do it, Ive had a few cars over the last 2 years and none have been anywhere close to the clio! It just makes you smile :) As for security there aren't many bits they can easily remove, although Im sure if someone wants something they will get it :(

    Australia's only FRB197 (UPDATE 21/2/12)

    I have to say to me they look more than satin. I was also told they can shoot gloss black body paint on followed with a matte clear coat and it gives you an inbetween finish

    200: Clio rs paris 2011

    The Clio Future

    The way euro emissions restrictions are pushing things I can see it going to turbo. What Id really like to see would be a light weight 6 pot 3.0 litre naturally aspirated jobo, although that definitely wont happen haha

    Insurance question

    You dont have to declare it, as the wheels are renault and not aftermarket. Your car insurance payout figure however could change, if a stock clio197 is worth say 15k insured, yours with optional wheels might have cost you 16k. When you insure the car you tell them that so your cover will fully...
